Lianzi [lotus bud] bowl with incised fruiting branch
Xuande white wares are often bluer in tone than those made during his grandfather’s, the Yongle emperor’s, reign. The shape of this bowl was first used in the Yongle period (AD 1403–24). It is called a 蓮子(lianzi ‘lotus bud’) bowl and outside is incised with a design of lotus petals. Inside it is incised with flower scrolls and fruiting branch. Potters also used the shape of this bowl and this style of decoration at Jingdezhen for underglaze blue bowls in both the Yongle and Xuande eras. The base of this bowl has a six-character Xuande reign mark in underglaze cobalt-blue. The bowl has a white body with a blue-tinged transparent glaze.
